And if my life is like the dust Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose What good am I? (The glow of a rose) Heaven only knows () I was told no good deed goes unpunished So I'm sittin here thinkin, is my name tarnished? Public perception is everything Even the one call they suits, face the crucifixion So who am I? I got the bunch of kids that's ready to die (die die die) Like it launches on the other side (side side side) But I rather see a million march than see a million genocide But when you wake up, you take off You wanna get kicked up He got to see, no she ready sick up Look at his face, he got blood in his eyes The SWAT they pull up and put 3 in the side He's there before a G need a alibi Better yet he need a lawyer conquering on the side Down at the west side At the house, blue wearing black and they throwing up gang signs Don't it feel good to see all the gangs in the same place? We might have different colored flags but we the same race Mention the government with the same face 75% incarcerate () And if my life is like the dust Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose What good am I? (Who am I?) Heaven only knows () I was told that my flesh will turn back to dust So while I'm laying on this bed there's a few things we should discuss I know I haven't been the best man But I was tempted in the garden of Eden by the serpent But I'm your man for mouth to mouth resuscitation And if you need blood, call me transfusion I'd rather be carried 6 than betray, this yo love so honest She looked in my eyes and say don't mistake my kindness for weakness Next day wake up and the music in the street Peer pressure to sniff cocaine, ecstasy, molly Sure I felt the sense for night trap then the devil's road And I got family member in rehab, tryna kick the habit in coke So when I said permanent and permanent permanent one That's 'cause I came from the ghetto, ain't a vision of one So sure you'd understand, you're my inspiration We gon live past cremation () And if my life is like the dust Uh... that hides... the glow of a rose What good am I? (What good am I?) Heaven only knows Let me play the guitar like it's my last day on earth (Guitar solo)
